I'm setting up a new Dell Inspiron 15-3521.
I am using Precise Puppy 5.7.1 and Frisbee network manager.
I can access the net through the DSL cable but not through wifi connection.
The machine's software wifi switch needs activation through Win7 on the HDD*.
or
A Dell wireless 1704 driver is needed in Puppies network manager's list of drivers.
I've spoken with Dell tech support.
They tell me the 15-3521 takes the 1704 driver.
They have given me their driver's download site, but, it appears to be for M$ download only. ?
I've found this reference on the net.

Can this be made Puppy friendly? I haven't a clue how to do that.
Or, better yet, does anyone have a 1704 driver setup to use in Puppy?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
*The Win7 on the machine has not been registered by it's owner yet.
